About the show

Most business owners avoid documenting their core business processes (even though they’re key to building a business that works without them) so we decided to do if for them. We interview industry experts and have them share their best small business systems and processes. Our team then converts those interviews into procedure templates that you can duplicated, customised and deployed within your business. It’s the quickest, easiest and efficient way to build a systemised business.

Build an Investor Grade Business | Nick Bradley

Most business owners dream of selling their company for life-changing money, yet over 70% of businesses listed for sale never find a buyer. The ones that do often sell for a fraction of what the founder expected. The gap between hope and reality usually comes down to one thing: the business was never built to be transferable.

Mike Rhodes has been on the other side of that wall. He is the co-author of the Ultimate Guide to Google Ads (140,000+ copies sold), the creator of the 8020brain AI system, and one of the earliest adopters of Claude Code for business automation.

In this episode, Melissa Bridson, founder of EdTech SaaS company School Stream, shares exactly how she chose to systemize her business for exit, and how that decision compressed a complex acquisition handover into record time.

Nine Ps Business Strategy Framework | Kaihan Krippendorff

When every quarter brings a new wave of disruption, most small business owners default to reactive decision-making. They know they need a strategy, but the annual plan they wrote in December is already stale by March.

In this episode, David Jenyns sits down with Kaihan Krippendorff, former McKinsey consultant and author of six books on innovation and competitive strategy, including Outthink the Competition and Proximity.
